[00:00:22] He painted Salford's smokey tops

[00:00:25] On cardboard boxes from the shops

[00:00:28] And(Em) parts of ancoats where I used to(Am) play

[00:00:34] I'm sure he once walked down our street

[00:00:37] Cause he painted kids who had nowt on their feet

[00:00:40] The clothes we wore had all see better(G) days

[00:00:50] Now they said his works of art were dull

[00:00:53] No room all round the walls are full

[00:00:56] But Lowry didn't care much anyway

[00:01:02] They said he just paints cats and dogs

[00:01:05] And matchstalk men in boots and clogs

[00:01:09] And Lowry said that's just the way they'll stay

[00:01:14] And he painted matchstalk men

[00:01:16] And matchstalk cats and

[00:01:18] Dogs

[00:01:21] He painted kids on the corner of the street that were

[00:01:24] Sparking clogs

[00:01:27] Now he takes his brush

[00:01:29] And he waits outside them

[00:01:32] Factory gates

[00:01:33] To paint his matchstalk men

[00:01:35] And matchstalk cats and

[00:01:37] Dogs

[00:01:40] Now canvas and brushes were wearing thin

[00:01:43] When London started calling him

[00:01:47] To come on down and wear the old flat cap

[00:01:53] They said tell us all about your ways

[00:01:56] And all about them Salford days

[00:01:59] Is it true you're just an ordinary chap

[00:02:05] And he painted matchstalk men

[00:02:08] And matchstalk cats and

[00:02:09] Dogs

[00:02:28] Dogs

[00:02:31] Now Lowry's hang upon the wall

[00:02:34] Beside the greatest of them all

[00:02:38] And even the Mona Lisa takes a bow

[00:02:44] This tired old man with hair like snow

[00:02:48] Told northern folk its time to go

[00:02:51] The fever came and the good lord mopped his brow

[00:02:56] And he left us matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and
